I've been trying to purchase correct dimensional stock alum so I don't have to cut much off. Instead of turning a 4" piece I got 4"X11/2" wall tube. And then turning thin sections for the hub. Welding that to the rim.


I did do a few experimental welds to check penetration and learn how to. It's thick for my Hobart handler 140. I did try to hammer parts apart and held well. And the turning on the lathe didn't dislodge it so I think I'm safe.


And my "hands on" design of how clearances will play,,,





Again no paper design just what's left of my brain and in hand parts!!



I'll be cutting the colored areas once I figure out how to set it up
